Jeremiah Rickert Writes:
This
is probably my favorite David Clayton-Thomas solo album. Most of
the songs are Clayton-Thomas originals, and they're really cool cuts, especially
"Laying Down Rock and Roll," "Fooled Ya," "Sweet Sixteen," and "Professor
Longhair." The guest musicians include both of the Breckers, David
Sandborn, and veterans of Lighthouse Bob McBride and Keith Jollimore.
A great record! "Laying Down Rock and Roll," would make a great BS&T
tune.
